What if I have many of these symptoms? What next?

1. Call Fern Life Center for an appointment so you can be screened: (425) 391-3376.

2. We request that you fill out the required paperwork before your appointment (download from www.FernLifeCenter.com).Your symptoms and history will be reviewed by Keesha Ewers, ARNP. As part of the screening process and you will receive 2 urine kits and a small dose of a medication to provoke the release of any heavy metals you might have encapsulated in your body. You will collect your urine before the medication and then after taking the medication for the next 6 hours. The samples will be sent to the lab and will take a week to ten days for us to get results back. This is called a pre and post-provocation urine test.

3. It will be necessary to take extra nutritional supplements which include: N-acetyl cysteine (NAC),calcium/magnesium supplements, and supportive supplements for the adrenals and detoxification systems.

4. We require you to do frequent kidney function testing during the course of your chelation therapy.

5. Each chelation therapy is individualized and you must have a mindset of “go slow and be patient”. It is possible to burn out your adrenals and detox organs with rapid heavy metal chelation. At Fern Life Center, Keesha believes in taking it at the pace your body can handle. You may be advised to take oral chelating agents or intravenous nutrition. See below for more detail about IV interventions.

6. For insurance purposes, we repeat the 6 hour urine collection every the 15th treatment to determine the next step in treatment.

7. You will be asked to have mercury amalgams removed before Keesha will chelate your mercury. There is no sense in undergoing the stress of chelation while you have an active source of mercury still in your mouth.

Sourcesof Mercury Exposure

The following list will help to identify where you may have come in contact with mercury in your environment:

Enjoy:

Increase fiber consumption, which is important to bind toxins in the digestive tract.

Drink 8 eight oz. glasses of water/day.

Eat eggs and ghee. The emphasis on animal protein is because of its concentration of sulfur bearing amino acids and lipids (fat). Mercury has an affinity to both of these chemical groups. You may use MSM 1000mg 3x/day if you are allergic to eggs.

Steam in a sauna or steam bath for 20 minutes 1 to 3 times per week as directed by your healthcare provider. Your skin is the largest excretory organ in your body and one of the safest routes of detoxification.
